Southwest Wisconsin Technical College and Ameresco Celebrate Completion of Solar and Battery Storage Project
New energy system expected to save the college approximately $30,000 annually and provide critical energy resilience to Building 400, one of the most populated buildings on campus
(BUSINESS WIRE)–WHAT: Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers navigate the energy transition, and Southwest Wisconsin Technical College invite media to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the completion of a new solar array and battery energy storage system (BESS) on campus.
The $1.6 million project includes a 300-kilowatt solar array, and a 125-kilowatt BESS designed to offset approximately 60% of the electricity used in Building 400—one of the most active facilities during the summer months. The project is expected to reduce utility costs by approximately $30,000 per year and provide critical backup power to the Student Services building in the event of an outage.
This is the first solar and storage system of its kind on campus and will serve as a hands-on learning opportunity for students and apprentices interested in careers in renewable energy and sustainability.
